Purpose and goal
Advanced connectivity will constitute the backbone of a digitalized industry and society in the future. This excellence cluster will drive research and innovation in digital technologies for resilient, sustainable and advanced connectivity. We will enable fast, reliable, secure, and inclusive interactions between people, devices, and data clouds for innovative solutions with tangible societal and industrial impact.
Expected effects and result
We will position Sweden at the forefront of shaping future digital infrastructures, where communication, computing, and sensing converge into resilient, and versatile platforms that underpin next-generation industries and society.
Planned approach and implementation
The foundation of the excellence cluster is world-leading researchers from Sweden’s four main universities in the field. It includes three Vinnova competence centers, two Strategic Research Areas, and two SSF centers. We have a reference group of stakeholders in the area: large international companies, SMEs, institute and public sector organizations, and an international advisory group to ensure that we are well grounded in the Swedish eco system and in the international research forefront.
